The opinion

Dissenting Opinion by

Me. Justice Mandeeino:

I join in the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Robeets. I am able to pamper precedents. I can easily sanctify suspect classifications. I have no problem deferring to domicile. I cannot agree, however, to declassify judicial secrets. Why should we reveal to others that their individual right to elect a mayor, see Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330 , 31 L.Ed.2d 274 , 92 S. Ct. 995 (1972), is more important than their right to elect a mate.
